Compelling Conversations: Speaking Exercises for Vietnamese Learners of English is based on our original and highly successful English as a Second Language (ESL) textbook, Compelling Conversations. Yet this 2016 version focuses on improving the accuracy and fluency of Vietnamese English Language Learners. Like the original, this English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbook focuses on creating conversations and discussions that matter. It includes thematic chapters uses conversation starters, interview questions, classic quotations, paraphrasing exercises, and traditional proverbs to create hours of English conversation and class discussions. It also targets common pronunciation problems for Vietnamese English language learners with engaging, focused articulation practices. This innovative ESL/EFL textbook also introduces academic vocabulary, examines common prefixes and suffixes, and provides opportunity for students to use their new vocabulary. The fluency-focused ESL textbook also requires asks students to find, summarize, and share information in small groups, and re-enforces lessons with edtech tools and apps. This culturally sensitive text encourages students to speak about their experiences, their families, and their lives. With dozens of practical speaking exercises, Compelling Conversations helps Vietnamese English Language Learners develop greater fluency, develop and express their opinions, give reasons to support their opinions, build critical thinking skills, prepare for standardized tests with speaking sections (TOEFL, IELTS), and create authentic conversations. Fluency also requires practice. Compelling Conversations encourages students to learn by doing and continually practice speaking English. As a result, students gain greater confidence, fluency, and vocabulary. They also create better conversations in English – in and beyond their English classes. Vietnamese English language learners will learn to not only survive, but thrive, in English!

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Teresa X. Nguyen, M.A. in Linguistics, B.A. in English Literature, brings considerable experience to this innovative textbook for Vietnamese learners seeking to improve their English speaking skills. Currently a core faculty at the California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) in the American Language Program (ALP), she has spent over ten years directing and teaching English to Vietnamese learners, both abroad in Southeast Asia and locally in southern California. Nguyen’s thirst to sharpen her teaching skills, has taught a wide variety of English language learners. Nguyen has taught English language learners in China, Vietnam, and the United States from over 25 countries. She has also taught English learners from elementary school to graduate students. The experiential basis for this communicative ESL textbook is her own struggles and successes as an international student studying abroad in Korea (2006), Spain (2007), and China (2008). Nguyen has also presented at several English teacher conferences, including TESOL international conferences in Baltimore, Maryland (2016) & Toronto, Canada (2015), CATESOL conferences in Anaheim, California (2015) & Santa Clara, California (2014), and at TESOL club events (2014, 2015). Her presentations focus on the optimal use of edtech. However, Nguyen’s most rewarding career experience – so far – has been supervising and training TESOL graduate students as a Master teacher (2013-present). She also stars in ESL Garage, a bilingual YouTube channel. Compelling Conversations – Vietnam: Speaking Exercises for Vietnamese Learners of English is her first book. Eric H. Roth teaches international graduate students the pleasures and perils of academic writing and public speaking in English at the University of Southern California (USC) as a Master Lecturer. He also consults with English language schools on communicative methods to effectively teach English. Roth remains best known as the creator and co-author of four critically-acclaimed ELT textbooks in the Compelling Conversations series. A member of the USC faculty since 2003, Roth actively participates in three professional organizations including: CATESOL, TESOL, and IWOSC. Roth has given several CATESOL and TESOL presentations. Roth first visited Vietnam in 2000, returning three times to consult and teach. He serves on the Fulbright National Screening Committee for ETA applicants (Vietnam). Roth has taught in France, Spain, Vietnam, and the United States.
